OLDMANS TWP. — A day full of music, vending and activities is prepped for the long-waited 22nd annual Pedricktown Day today.

Residents
will enjoy the “All-American Harvest Festival” between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m. Residents can come to the intersection of Mill Street and South
Railroad Avenue for the day filled with traditional family fun.

This year, the Pedricktown
Day Committee will donate 10 percent of all sales of commemorative
T-shirts sold during the festival to the Wounded Warriors Project, a
non-profit organization dedicated to helping wounded warriors who
incurred service-connected injures on or after Sept. 11, 2001.

The
festival originated in 1990 during an Oldmans Historical Society
festival and in 1991, the Pedricktown Day Committee kept the festival
alive on the second Saturday of October every year.

This year, the committee brought back a cake and pie baking contest.

Residents
interested in creating a tasty cake or pie must deliver their goods by
10 a.m. on Saturday and judging will take place at 11 a.m.

Keeping healthy competition alive, residents can also partake in a scarecrow decorating contest.

Groups
or families need to complete their scarecrows and have them on display
by 6 p.m. Friday for judging. The scarecrows will be used as decorations
for the festival.

In addition to fun contests, residents can enjoy music from Wanted Band, Car Tunz and Oldmans School Band.

Food
and vendors will over-take the streets and residents can engage in
activities such as pony rides, a petting zoo, helicopter rides, a car
show, pumpkin painting, and shopping.
